Much to our dismay everything was raw. After the din quieted we learned that a Shab-Shab banquet means we boiled the food in large braziers, holding each piece with our chopsticks. It was great fun as several people would try to retrieve their lost rice cake or bean curd from the same brazier.

The announcement was made Friday by K, A. Standing, sec- retary -manager of the Ontario Wheat Producers' Marketing Board, following a board meet- ing held in Toronto. The five cent return payment represents the unused portion of the nine cent. per bushel levy on all wheat marketed from July 1, 1960 to June 30. 1961, Mr. Standing said the hoard • purchased 1;200,000 bushels of of surplus wheat during the pe- riod and that it all had been exported. A total of nearly nine million bushels of the 1960 crop were marketed. Payments totalling about $438,000.00- will be shared by some 24,000 producers in Onta- rio following processing of in- dividual produced records of wheat sold. It is expected to take about six weeks to com- plete the processing operation, In addition to the payment announcement, Mr. Standing said that the board • also met with Ontario government of- ficials regarding the • large amount of feed wheat' harvest- ed this season as a result of wet weather conditions. The board concluded from discussions that if the feed trade had the opportunity to pick up low grade wheat for feed, the better grades of wheat owned. by 'the board would not be held for reserve but sold for export purposes as in the past. The board is pre- sently exporting No. 2 • grade wheat and expects to move its stocks of No. 3 grade wheat into export markets.
